6 men braved the threat of elements and the invasion of new animals to the circus. It started to come down pretty good for COP (thanks Debby) but then stopped for most of the workout. I guess the humidity and our studliness led some bugs to go attacking during the workout. COP: Normal stuff: DQs, helicopters, HRMs, MCs, FMs, ACs. Four different exercises rotate the amount of each. Start with 5 sit and press, then 10 bench press, 15 coupon flutters – 2 count and tricep pull downs. Totals are 50 each, not too shabby. the bench presses after the…

Six tough guys did an arms focused Kettlebell workout. It was 70s and sunny when we started our warmups of White Deer SSH, helicopters, arm circles, HRM, LBCs, & Merkins. We then followed the lights and did a routine of 12 reps of six exercises and then a lap around the bus loop. Exercises were overhead presses, lawn mowers (each arm), curls, upright rows, halos and overhead triceps. We did 3 rounds of this. Everyone then found a partner and we did 3 rounds of overhead pulls while the partner ran to the end of the school and back. We…
